Wrenchline Advisory Group
Where Strategic Alignment and Tactical Reality Meet
Most safety programs are theater.
They exist to satisfy audits, protect egos, and give leadership something to point at when things go wrong—while the real work happens somewhere else entirely. Wrenchline was built to dismantle that. I work with operations-first organizations to expose the gap between what leadership thinks is happening and what the field knows is happening. With a background in the military, mechanical trades, and leading HSE in high-risk environments, I design systems that survive contact with reality—on the wrenchline, not in the boardroom. If your operation only runs smoothly when everything goes right, you don’t have a safety problem. You have a leadership problem.
Who Wrenchline Is Not For
Wrenchline is not for leaders looking for a binder, a certification, or someone to “own safety” so they don’t have to. It’s not for organizations that want compliance optics without accountability, or executives who confuse authority with understanding. If you believe your people are the problem, resist uncomfortable feedback from the field, or aren’t willing to change how decisions are made above the wrenchline, this work will frustrate you. Wrenchline is built for leaders who are willing to be challenged, tested, and held to the same standard they expect from the people doing the work.
If any part of this makes you defensive instead of curious, Wrenchline is probably not the work you’re ready for.
If, however, you recognize the gap between how your organization is designed and how the work is actually done—and you’re willing to confront it—then let’s talk. Wrenchline engagements are not prepackaged programs or quick fixes; they’re deliberate, uncomfortable, and outcome-driven. We start by pressure-testing leadership assumptions, exposing where alignment breaks down across the wrenchline, and rebuilding systems that people trust because they work. If you’re ready to be challenged, hold the line when it gets uncomfortable, and build something that survives reality, schedule a conversation.
